A dedicated web site that offers a snapshot of our nation’s health, highlighting recent successes and challenges in fighting critical health problems in the United States (U.S.). Up-to-date dashboards, resources, videos and printable fact sheets and infographics are available to inform and guide public health work.

An interactive data set composed of behavioral risk factors and health indicators, the Sortable Stats site compiles state-level data for all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. The tool links to related CDC resources – including Vital Signs, MMWR, NCHS Vital Statistics and the Health Indicators Warehouse – to create quick connections to additional information and guidance about how to address these health challenges.

With the Sortable Stats 2.0 tool, you can:

View, sort, and analyze data at the state, regional and national levels.

The site provides graphs that identify the extent to which each state contributes to the national public health burden. In many cases, a small number of states account for a large proportion of the burden (this is commonly known as the Pareto principle or the 80-20 rule). Visit the Burden Assessments page.
